17 / 18 August

[tonym77]

In what can only be described as torrential rain, 4500 people turned out to see Motorhead and TNT on August 17. Just before we were due on stage, technicians had to solve a complete power failure problem, which they did.
Rain had poured through the roof of the stage and drenched most of the equipment and turned the floor into a virtual ice rink fit for only the best of skaters- and I aint one of 'em !!! But the crowd were fantastic and it stopped raining as we began the show; a result for for everyone. Motorhead enjoyed the TNT show and watched the whole gig from side stage - great guys.

The Pers Hotel in Gol was an idyllic setting for a show in a small village high street with the hotel was a base for everyone. The staff and crew at Gol were very professional and again our job was made all the easier for it. It was also great to meet so many young fans at Gol, the hotel the next morning was like a school playground where the TNT shirt was the uniform. Another very enjoyable evening and I found myself leaving with regret as many children waved goodbye to the bus as we pulled out.

Thanks to all for this weekend.

Thanks for the report!

Maybe the weather in Steinkjer was tough, but the bands and fans had to have been tougher after all! Glad no one ended up with unintentionally curly hair! ;-)

Actually, I really meant to say that I'm glad the electrical issue didn't bite anybody! Curly hair, shock therapy, errrr.... that sort of thing, a little rain is okay, but you know, it just gets exciting when live current is applied!


Hat shopping... wonder if it is enjoyable as shoe shopping? ;-)

Here's my experience in UK & Steinkjer!
well all started very soon at my home country with all nite
without sleeping to catch my conection in Lisbon to Birmingham,
via Amsterdam, well leave at 5 a.m. and on 10 a.m. I was landing in MY MAN city when I receiv the first contact by sms from Tone and after some few problems with roller carpet, I saw my f******g small case with other plenty of alcool hehe Tone just ask "what is that?" hihihi nice vitamines for Mills family!!! anyways after our meeting we just went for a cool time around the city!! I was excited to meet my niece for the very first time, what only happen on in same day but afternoon and WOW she's so beautiful and when she saw me I guess she scared a little cus she was looking to me all the time with suspicion... my reaction was trying make her feel ok, but that only after some days and today I'm still with some doubts about her, I mean she can be cool but she's got the other side, which means SHE CAN BEAT ANYONE!!!
"STOP IT" "NOT FUNNY", she told me this thousands of times , was the most funny thing, SHE'S ADORABLE!!!! so is Mommy as well!!!
the next day was when the Neil "shredder" Hibbs join us to speak about the new solo album from TONY MILLS, well I said once and telling U all again, I'm in love with this record and only 2 songs are ready to rock but needs first to go into a studio to record the drums and bass, I guess...no sures here! and this will be a stunning melodic rock!!! cant wait for more!!! after our cool saturday, was time to meet Roy and his family and some more musicians from that area, but this day was horrible for me cus I was all afternoon under the burning UK sun, what that makes me went to bed with head burning with fever or something, but next day I was ok again! uff uff!!!
well the day after was time to say goodbye to Neil, cus he return home but with happy face!!!! ( HEYA I DRIVE STRAIGHT, NOT IN ZIG ZAG'S ) U ROCK NEIL!!!!
that week starts very early for all, except for me (THANKS BRO. TO LET ME SLEEP) well after some conversation Tone just said to me "this song will call "TEARS IN LISBON" and I was thinking he was kidding with me! but not with huge surprise for me the chorus part just built himself with a thunder time, so fast and so awesome as well, I was deep with Tone to try to sing on backing vocals but here I'm a disaster after some cool atempts I just give up and let the MENTHOR work what is really stunning, and just cross his mind to make me talk a little on micro. and I'm sure the result was more fun and refreshing one!!
I love it be part of this process of builting a song I was amazed!! AWESOME TIMES!! WE HAVE LOTS OF FUN!!!
well the rest of week was trying to finish the song what today I guess is finished without the studio recordings with drums & bass!! OH YEAH!!!
Anyways an honorable mention to Curry's and Kebab's!!
and Sister-In-Law chinese home food, hummy hummy!!!
well after all this fun and relaxing time in UK, now was time for us to leave to North Norway, Trondheim was the destany and our Bro. Bjorn
was ready to receiv us all in party envirment at his resort!!
me and my Sister-In-Law was worried about the weather in Norway, after we saw the net weather we still more worried, THAT WILL BE TIME TO CATCH SOME SKY SHOWERS!!! damn!
well we leave in direction to Steinkjer, during the journey we just look
disapointed with the weather, too much water to mention! after 2 hrs travel, we arrived to the venue with the tons of water falling on us, hihi
but I must say that we only get wet crossing all the stadium field to join at the bus stopped on behind the stage and there I just saw my Norge family there, Victor, Ronni, Diesel, Mona, Paal(good to see you again!!!!), Lars, and all the gang!!!
during this time some Lady on tour bus just gave me a condom with hat what I just can be more happy about it, I got my own shelter to see the band live, WOW!!!
well with some few delay talked by Tone already, the band came up to the
stage and one more goal was scored by my boys! excelent performance even with Tone trying to have some fun on rain...U got the balance Bro.!!hihihi be careful next time will ya??
all the crowd was simply open mouth and rocking the band, once again but this time with Motorhead, who TNT left behind, and Motorhead was cool
but not enough..and just a note to Micky Dee, he made a stunning performance behind his kit! amazing!!
I dont remember the set list as usual cus I just sing no matter the song is!! and about the pics. I only took 3 or 4 pics cus I knew that Paal will be at the press area so and with rain I just give up trying and just only enjoying the show and by the way the rain stopped at the 3or 4 song so was cool at all!!! well party over here but all the people was happy!
so was time to move to Gol, which I didnt make it, me and Sister-In-Law just stayed in Trondheim tired and needed a bed worry!!!
last nite in Trondheim was to be in a Norwegian 60's 70's party with live bands, there I could see other awesome people there, Bjorn,Gretha,Morten, Martin, his brother ( how much for your wiman or liitlle girlll ), Christian
and some more cool people, nice time as well!!
was time to me to back to UK cus I didnt get flight to come home directly so I made scale in UK again for the next day finaly I get my plain & bus!
